  • 60, 30, 24


Scaling

• Supported in 2K/HD/SD formats
  • Zoom in and out
  • Reposition
  • Region of Interest (ROI)


Up-Conversion

• Hardware 10-bit
• Zoom 14:9: results in a 4:3 image zoomed slightly to fill a 14:9 image with black side bars
• Zoom Letterbox: results in image zoomed to fill fullscreen
• Zoom Wide: results in a combination of zoom and horizontal stretch to fill a 16:9 screen; this setting will introduce a small aspect ratio change


Down-Conversion

• Hardware 10-bit
• Anamorphic: fullscreen
• Letterbox: image is reduced with black top and bottom added to image area with the aspect ratio preserved
• Crop: image is cropped to fit video output format


Aspect Ratio Conversion for SD to SD

• Letterbox: Transforms SD anamorphic material to a letterboxed image
• H Crop: Produces a horizontally stretched effect on the image; transforms anamorphic SD to full frame
• SD Pillarbox: Produces an image in the center of the screen with black borders on the left and right sides and an anamorphized image in the center
• V Crop: Transforms SD letterbox material to an anamorphic image
